It represents patriotism, people of all colors coming together because they love your r their country and were not afraid to use words like that. Were patriots, we love america and we represent america. Drivers blew their horns in response to cheers of people keering along the sidewalks. Also in this sways, thousands of people came out to celebrate Kamala Harris and her roots in berkeley and oakland. Abc7news reporter matt boone joins us live in berkeley outside her childhood home which has turned into a block party. Matt. Hey, yeah. Lots of people were out here earlier. Still a few people coming by to check it out. Freeman all over the bay area were out here earlier. Still on this block there are a few people who live here who knew kamala when she grew up. Amazing to see all the neighborhood people and come out and celebrate kamalas victory. She lives two doors down from kamalas childhood home. I remember my mother saying kamala, youre going to be the president one day. Yeah. Just joking, you know. Sharon also knew harris growing up and send sent her a text this morning. Shes busy. She may get it sometime during the week. As people danced on her street, she had a sense of pride for her neighborhood. Anybody can become something that we never thought of. Never thought i would know somebody who would be at the white house. Driving through the east bay, it was impossible to avoid the sounds of celebratory traffic jams. Along lake her it, hundreds of people came out with a common refrain. It feels like we can all finally breathe a sigh of relief. Im so excited for her. Were going to be out here all day. Theres like this sense of relief. Ashley and Morgan Carter said when they heard the news about biden and harris, they had to come to oakland. Weve been basically suffering the past four years from someone who will take any chance that they can to demean and speak ill about people that look like me and her, so to have someone to have that person be the one to replace him is just i mean, its magic. A fest active sendoff for a Hometown Hero heading to the white house. Were out here celebrating the time. We got somebody from oakland in the white house. Lots of excitement out there. A little hard to see, but if whole sidewalk out here has been covered in chalk, writing madam Vice President. People are coming by to write a message here as well. Matt boone, and this is how many san franciscans learned the news that joe biden had become the president elect. Nonstop coarse of cheering and the banging of pots and pans. A victory for the ticket. People are telling you that theyre very excited about whats to come. Theres definitely a mix of feelings there from the latino community. Many are excited for what the upcoming four years will mean for this north. Democrats have been promising Immigration Reform for years. There are over 20 million latinos eligible to vote according to pugh research. Today many in this community are celebrating. Im here to celebrate a better and brighter future. I feel like my vote counted. I feel like it is history in the making. I was very proud to be a part of it. Theres also a sigh of relief and expectancy. There has been a vindication for the pain we have felt this past four years. But it proved that theres no such thing as the latino vote. Im hoping Kamala Harris also keeps biden more accountable. Not all latinos vote the same. More latinos voted for President Trump in 2020 compared to 2016. As latinos, were not a monolith. Theres not a way to view these things. When you think about people coming from other countries, its tied to not just their ethnicity, but often class and what status they had in their country. Latinos this time around was his promise to create a path twooi citizenship. This is something we were promised under then president elect barack obama and nancy pelosi that we were going to get a path to citizenship, that we were going to efficiency this immigration. We were let down before. I tell you that we cant be let down again. This needs to happen and it needs to happen yesterday. Many latinos telling me time is ticking for that Immigration Reform. Theyre hoping that biden harris ticket does deliver this time. In San Francisco, abc7news. Much thank you. He has practiced law in california for more than 50 years.

They are taking on lawsuits the Trump Administration has filed over the results of the election. They have been the craziest cases youve ever been. Theyre an absolute fraud. Give you some examples. People should be able come into polling places with guns. They were allowed to stand six feet away instead of six feet away. They want to hold up the results of the election until they get to the period of time when the Electoral College votes, what they want to do is challenge those votes and take it to the u. S. Supreme court. He has a lot of work ahead. He said hes been told the Trump Administration hopes to hire more aggressive attorneys starting monday. Conservative activist Melanie Morgan joined us today. She told us the fight for the white house is far from over. This is not something that conservatives and republicans and Trump Supporters are going to let go, because we feel that the media, the media went ahead and called an election that has not yet been settled and its very disturbing. Its very upsetting. Youre going to see these same Trump Supporters who shocked the country, half of which came out to vote for donald trump are now going to take that energy and moving it into activism.

This is another longtime friend and advisor to harris whos been beside harriss side during her political career, starting in the race for San Francisco district attorney.
